| Mission | |
| School mission | Quinnipiac University is committed to providing high quality academic programs in a student-oriented environment, on a campus with a strong sense of community. The uniquely attractive Mount Carmel campus of 250 acres is located minutes from New Haven, mid-way between New York City and Boston, and offers a variety of majors along with internship and clinical experiences in Business, Communications, Health Sciences, Education, Liberal Arts and Sciences and Law to the 5,500 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate and part time students. Excellent facilities such as the fully digital high-definition production studio in the Ed McMahon Center for Mass Communications, the Sports biomechanics 'motion analysis' lab, the Critical Care lab for Nursing and Physician Assistant students, and the Financial Technology Center (trading room), provide state-of-the-art training experiences. Twenty-one athletic teams (nickname, the "Bobcats") compete in Division I sports (Men's and Women's Ice Hockey is a member of the ECAC, most other teams are in the Northeast Conference). The TD Banknorth 3500 seat 'twin' arenas for basketball and ice hockey opened January 2007 on the nearby York Hill campus of 250 acres. Quinnipiac is adjacent to the 1,700 acre Sleeping Giant State park with trails for hiking and scenic views. Seventy-five percent of the entering class comes from out of state and ninety-five percent of the freshmen live on campus. Construction of new residence halls to add 2000 beds, a student center and parking garage on the York Hill campus will begin to open in 2009 and will provide housing for seniors as space becomes available. Although resident freshmen may not bring a car to campus, the University maintains an extensive campus shuttle system which brings students to nearby shopping, restaurants, museums, and the New Haven train station with access to Metro North and Amtrak. |
